Hey Jax. Sorry to bother you, but I need to talk to you for a moment about Snow White & her living situation.

sure, what's up

Yuff
So a few players have approached me and expressed concerns and discomfort about the fact that Snow White is actively living in an abusive household. They have have concerns as to whether or not you plan to have her plot resolve

Yuff
and I personally too have the same concerns too, Because while I'm fine with depictions of childhood trauma and dealing with all those issues, there is a line where it becomes child misery porn

Rainbow Kisses
I was leaving the plan open ended to see what would develop naturally in RP

Yuff
so you're not in trouble, but I do want to hear if you have any long term plans regarding Snow and her living situation

Yuff
ok. but is the end goal is to have her leave the custody of her stepmother?

Rainbow Kisses
ideally the goal was to have her mother lose custody or for Snow to be moved into a home

Yuff
okay! So I suggest maybe start putting out feelers to see if you can lay the groundwork for that to happen. There are a lot of characters who I think would step up, but the players aren't sure if that's what you wanted

Yuff
this development doesn't have to happen immediately or anything! It can take a few months. Mostly just so people know that there is a resolution

Rainbow Kisses
If no one wants to take her on I can have seven brothers of her mother suddenly appear since her getting castmates is never going to happen

Yuff
okay! That's a good back up solution!

Rainbow Kisses
my apologies for making anyone uncomfortable

Rainbow Kisses
I can drop Snow if it's an issue

Yuff
nah I don't think you need to drop Snow. It's just one of those situations that since it is an active child abuse situation, it's going to be triggering for some players

Yuff
but I think if people are aware that this isn't going to be permanent and there IS something they can do about it, it'll help a lot

Yuff
and I can also help do things to facilitate help as well

Yuff
like Zodiac contacting one of the brothers or something

Rainbow Kisses
it might be better to be the seven brothers, maybe, since if that way someone drops, Snow isn't suddenly left homeless again

Rainbow Kisses
I ran into that a lot when I played Alice who is seven

Yuff
yeah that is a definite problem

Yuff
but okay, we can work with that. Perhaps some characters can make enough noise that Zodiac gets involved and like pays off the right people to expediate the custody process

Yuff
and this can be a long term thing, like over the next few months

Rainbow Kisses
okay

Rainbow Kisses
again, I apologize, it wasn't my intention to trigger anyone with Snow's canon

Yuff
okay, and thank you! I promise you're not in trouble, I just wanted to talk to you about it.

Yuff
it's alright! I figured that was the case which is why I wanted to talk to you about it

Yuff
it's one of those situations where it's borderline, where I do allow it in a game but i also keep an eye on it.

Rainbow Kisses
understandable

Yuff
but thank you again for hearing me out! and yeah you can work towards the uncle solution over time. I talked to the players who came to me, and they said they are fine with that as long as they know there will be a resolution

Yuff
they also understand that it wasn't your intent to make anyone uncomfortable
